The Los Angeles Clippers host the Toronto Raptors in primetime on Wednesday night, and the Clips are looking to climb out of the No. 8 spot in the West.
The Clippers have won just one of their last six games, yet they still are favored against a Toronto team that gave Denver a run for its money on Monday night.
The Raptors are all the way up to the No. 9 spot in the East after a brutal slow start, and they’ve won six of their last 10 games.
Norman Powell remains out for the Clippers, making their bench a little thinner on Wednesday night.

Toronto Raptors @ LA Clippers | Current Best Odds
The Clippers have not looked great since the trade deadline, and on the season they rank just 21st in the league in net rating.
Los Angeles has also struggled as a favorite at home, going just 10-12 against the spread so far this season.

I think Toronto is a undervalued here, especially after how well the team played on Monday against Denver.
The Raptors are very solid as road dogs this season (12-9 ATS), and they have moved to 15th in the league in net rating with a strong stretch over the past month or so.
The Clips nearly lost to the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, so I’m going to take the points in this game with Toronto.
